To know and to do
Are a strange set of two
And the one will play upon the other

For to do and not know
Is a lucky sort of show
And we smirk on it one with another

Now to know and to do
Grants good purpose its due
And skill assures all those who love her

Yet to know and not do
Is the wresting of the two
And it comes with its own sort of tether

So to do and to know
With the good all in tow
Is a charity shared with another

But when we are remiss
Our lack will consist
In knowing but doing no other

"Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin."
James 4:17
